I have two return pump nozzles that are connected to one return pump with a T junction connector so two become one(now I'm singing that song lol) at the return pump(2500LPH) both have random flow generator ends just wondering is it normal for one to have more power than the other the left one has probably 35% more powerful/flow than the right (there are no leaks and both are properly connected)

thank you
